Here Today, Gone Tonight *
Original air date: 1/23/73
This show is dumb. Danno is seen taking off in a helicopter from the Ala Wai Heliport (see #49) -- later claimed to be a "field north of Diamond Head" -- and eventually returns there. But later it's suggested that he was tricked by lights on the ground into believing he was flying to a different location than the intended one. I wonder if this lack of logic has anything to do with the fact that James MacArthur seems rather pissed off prior to the trip? This copter flight isn't the only thing about this episode that is far-fetched. The elaborate scam by which Barry Dean (Monte Markham) knocks off his boss Fleming (Douglas Kennedy) in cahoots with Fleming's wife June (Madlyn Rhue) is so complicated that it's almost like science-fiction. When Dean's identity card is shown close up, it reveals he lives at 124 Kahala Avenue, is 6 feet tall, 35 years old, weighs 185 pounds, has blue eyes and blond hair. When McGarrett introduces insurance investigator Bella Morgan (Sandra Smith) to Danno, he remarks, "She's very bright as you can see, so be careful." Bella helps Five-O catch Dean in what seems like a classic case of entrapment! In McGarrett's office there is a football team picture on his wall. Doug Mossman appears as a security guard. Wo Fat is claimed to have two doubles. Keith Bailey finds Danno's behavior inappropriate in this episode: "[During] the sequence where Danno waits in the living room for the bad guy to 'get his heart checked,' he goes to the hi-fi, does a crossword . . . and also has an alcoholic beverage at the bar. A policeman can't drink on duty (and Danno was there on an important police matter)."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Barry Dean ist der zuverlssige Vize-Prsident im Peter-Fleming-Konzern. In letzter Zeit gibt er allerdings seinen Bekannten Rtsel auf: Gestern noch Antialkoholiker, verlangt er heute einen Cocktail; erst eingefleischter Nichtraucher, raucht er pltzlich Zigaretten. Niemand ahnt, dass Dean einen teuflischen Plan verfolgt: Er bringt seinen Chef um - verschafft sich aber durch Danny Williams ein perfektes Alibi. Aber McGarrett kommt ihm schlielich doch auf die Schliche.
